I've grown them and they were the first to ripen which was a big plus. They do have an unusual shape and they are a true red in color. I would definately grow them again for those reasons.

I've just received my Tomatoberry seeds from Tradewindfruit com and will grow them in 09. Just wanted the seed for its unique shape. Our grocery store Wegman's sells them.

I placed an order with Tradewinds and they actully sent the order the same day it was made. I received the seeds fast. Have not grown them out yet to check on correct fruit. The overall experience so far has been very good.

I did find Tomatoberry in one of my commercial catalogs at a bit better price. The problem is the min amount is 500 seeds for $96.60. And Tomatoberry isn't their most expensive tomato seed.
That's not too many seeds for me, in fact I usually buy 1,000 of a variety if it's reasonably priced. but more than I want to shell out at 1 time right now. Anyone have any F-2 or F-3 seeds of Tomatoberry yet ?? |

Forgot to add, good to hear the good experience with Tradewind.
I had found their site and there are several varieties I could only find at their site that I want to get. They have a few of Brad's varieties listed too. |

Is it true that Tomatoberry is bred by the Tokita Seed Company which introduced Sungold?
